Devouring Fall

Fall in Hamilton County means an onslaught on festivals to celebrate the season. The crisp weather is perfect for hanging outdoors in a cozy fleece and savoring the flavors of autumn—apple, pumpkin and cinnamon (yaaaassssss!!!)

One of my favorite festivals is at Conner Prairie. We load up the kids and head to the picturesque spot for hay mazes, crafts and Headless Horseman sightings, then finish the night by the roaring fire with caramel apples and cider.

When you’ve had your fill of food, you can raise your glass and drink to the season! Apple cider fanatics (aren’t we all?) will love Stuckey Farm’s Cider Fest, made fresh at the farm. Beer enthusiasts will appreciate the Noblesville Brewfest, where you can sample brews from dozens of breweries and play a little cornhole while you’re at it. Carmel and Fishers both hold Oktoberfest celebrations with plenty of brews to complement the day.

Don’t miss out on these delicious fall celebrations! Tag us in your seasonal adventures on social media using @VisitHamiltonCo and #VisitHC.
